M militiacore Dirt Disciple Feedback View Jun 14, 2009 #2 I'd imagine the aluminium will be fairly thick, more silvery in colour and smooth. The titanium will have a slight tinge to the colour and little bit of a grain or texture to it.

Xesh Senior Retro Guru Feedback View Jun 14, 2009 #4 The alloy post is a bright silver (see pic below) whereas the Ti one is no where near as shiny and is a silver/grey-ish colour. Attachments USE01.JPG 89.8 KB · Views: 621

shovelon Senior Retro Guru Jun 15, 2009 #6 That looks like an alum post. I bet the tube wall is about 2 mm.
